Binding: Paper
A huge, riveting, deeply imagined novel about the siege and
fall of the Alamo in 1836-an event that formed the consciousness
of Texas and that resonates through American history-The Gates of
the Alamo follows the lives of three people whose fates become
bound to the now-fabled Texas fort: Edmund McGowan, a proud and
gifted naturalist whose life's work is threatened by the war
against Mexico; the resourceful, widowed innkeeper Mary Mott; and
her sixteen-year-old son, Terrell, whose first shattering
experience with love leads him instead to war, and into the
crucible of the Alamo. The story unfolds with vivid immediacy and
describes the pivotal battle from the perspective of the Mexican
attackers as well as the American defenders. Filled with dramatic
scenes, and abounding in fictional and historical
personalities-among them James Bowie, David Crockett, William
Travis, and General Santa Anna-The Gates of the Alamo
enfolds us in history and, through its remarkable and passionate
storytelling, allows us to participate at last in an American
legend.
